Many of us move through life functioning from a place of urgency — managing careers, families, and responsibilities — while quietly carrying the effects of chronic stress and unresolved emotional pain. Over time, these patterns can lead to chronic fatigue/illness, emotional overwhelm, and disconnection from our interests and personal needs. We survive rather than fully living. I offer a nervous system-informed, somatic approach that gently helps you reconnect with your body and internal wisdom.

As a systemic therapist, I am dedicated to guiding individuals through their inner complexities, fostering healing, growth, and self-discovery. I approach clients holistically, considering their relationships and connections using the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model as a foundation. This dynamic model identifies and works with inner subpersonalities, promoting self-compassion and self-acceptance. I tailor this approach to individual needs, incorporating additional methods when necessary, fostering transformative change at personal and relational levels.

It is my hope that clients gain from counseling specific tools they can apply to their lives to feel better equipped in dealing effectively with their life circumstances.

I often include homework to make use of the time between sessions. When desired, I approach issues from a Biblical perspective.
